Cerithiid specimens collected in South Korean waters (12 localities) during the period from August 1965 to October 1991 were identified and classified. In the present study, seven species in six genera were identified as Korean Cerithiidae. Among them, three species, Blttlum variegatum Kuroda and Habe, 1971, Brttrum cratlculatum Gould, 1860 and Ataxocerlthlum abnormale (Sowerby, 1903), are new to Korean malacofauna and fully redescribed with illustrations.
